Foreign Office To Get a Cat Called Palmerston

Buzzfeed reports that the Foreign Office is getting its own cat, Palmerston, who will move in later this week.

The new Whitehall moggy, believed to be black-and-white, will be based just yards from the Downing Street home of the prime minister’s cat, Larry.

He is named after Viscount Palmerston, a former foreign secretary who twice served as prime minister in the mid–19th century.
